In the vast universe of NCIS, fans have formed strong attachments to the diverse characters that populate the series. However, not every character has won viewers’ hearts, sparking debates about the most disliked main character. Opinions vary widely, from quirky forensic scientists to no-nonsense special agents, on who deserves this dubious title in the long-running crime procedural drama.
One name consistently rises to the top of fan polls: Special Agent Jennifer “Jenny” Shepard, portrayed by Lauren Holly. Despite her prominent role within the NCIS hierarchy, Shepard’s controversial leadership style and morally ambiguous decisions often rubbed fans the wrong way. Her tumultuous romantic entanglements and questionable professional judgment led to mixed reactions throughout her tenure on the show. While some viewers appreciated her complexity and contributions, others found her actions difficult to reconcile, ultimately designating her as the most disliked main character by a significant portion of the NCIS fanbase.
